Google may have jumped the gun on announcing that the Android 2.3.3 update for the Nexus One was available - although they did say that it could be a few weeks until the update deployed OTA, it wasn't available for download and install, either. Or, rather, it wasn't until now: the update .ZIPs have been posted and can be downloaded directly from Google.

Looks like your boot loader's version is still different than the ones that are supported. Are you saying you flashed the above version via the update.zip method and the Gingerbread update.zip flashing is still saying this? Something doesn't add up.

Does your version number match the one above? I'm going to guess no, which is why it doesn't work.

My N1 on Vodafone (UK) is Build FRG83D whereas the zipfile is for the FRG83G.
Something to do with them using a separate ROM from all other distributors apparantly.

Does this update delete my things stored in the "phone memory", or on the SD-card? Should I backup my things before update?

Castle Rider

Definitely not.

Lilo

Okay. Thanks ^__^

Power button on my N-One died so I survive only thanks to "awake stay" widget, also hadn't chance to root it - any suggestion how to proceed in such state?

Hooman

I'm not sure about the first part ... but you don't need root to update your phone

I just updated my Nexus One and it runs much faster. I also noticed the screen calibration issue that annoyed the hell out of me seems to be fixed.

Hboot-0.35.0017
Radio-5.12.00.08
I followed the exactly instructions to update my android to 2.3.3 and for some reason i get this message:
– Install from sdcard…
Finding update package…
Verifying update package…
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
If i try to update to 2.2.2 i also get this message
is it possible that the released update zip file doesn't work for my build number?
i also want to mention that i named the downloaded zip file properly and place it into the root of my sd card,downloaded using different browsers chrome,IE,opera even downloaded using the phone, with no luck.
Can i do anything to get the latest update?or i have to wait for the OTA update

Thanks in advance

Wow!!! I just installed the update on my Nexus One, and I love it!!! At first the update failed yesterday, but I reinstalled it today from this site and it installed first time around!!!

Also, it will give you all the updates from 2.3.0 to 2.3.1, 2.3.2, and 2.3.3Hope this helps people, and saves you the 2+ hours I spent.

Can't seem to get it to work.

I get to the part with the android and the exclamation triangle, but when I press power-up the phone flashes a few blue lines of text and reboots.

Matt Brehove

Ok, so on the 50th try it just decided to work. Maybe this will give other people with the same problem hope.

Hey Guys,
I am Sudhaunshu From INDIA. I have bought my Nexus S in the month of Jan from USA.
My phone build is GRH78C.
When I landed here in India, I got the first 2 updates (i.e. 2.3.1 & 2.3.2) on OTA.. but then onwards I have not received any OTA updates...
Please let me know the reason. Also I am looking forward to install 2.3.4 so please let me know how to do it(step by step). Also let me know if it really works as manual update.....

Verizon Wireless updated this phone on 9/2/11 without my approval and my droid 2 got all messed up. Only 1/3 of my apps worked and it ran slower that before the update. Now I can't even start my droid nor can I use it. Any suggestions beyond a hard reset which I tried at least 10 times.

Can you please help me to upgrade my Google Nexus one handset from Android 2.3.1 to 2.3.4? Here is what I have in my phone.
